Hottie Bipasha Basu will make her debut in Rituparno Ghosh's Bengali film Shob Charitro Kalponik.

It's a refreshing change to see Bipasha in authentic Bengali sari, rather than her ultra glamorous look. However, she looks equally sexy and sensuous if not more even in the sari. "My parents simply loved the look once they got over the initial shock," says Bips.

Shob Charitro Kalponik is a film that follows the wanderings of a woman's mind. Bipasha shares screen space with noted Bengali actor Prosenjit who plays her husband in the film. Bipasha is seen dressed as a typical Bengali bride in this scene and needless to say looks like a million bucks.

Bipasha plays Radhika, a simple housewife whose ideologies clash with that of her poet husband which leads to frustration and tension in their relationship. What's more, she even gets attracted to her husband's friend in due course of time.

We see Radhika, trapped in state of marital unhappiness, as not just woman struggling to keep her home and heart together, but also as an individual trying to find her identity against odds that are created mainly in her own mind.

Rituparno Ghosh has worked with some really beautiful actresses of Bollywood, be it Aishwarya Rai (Chokher Bali, Raincoat) Raima Sen (Chokher Bali, Dosar etc.) Soha Ali Khan (Antar Mahal) and even Preity Zinta (The Last Lear). Now that he is directing one of the most beautiful Bong babes and that too in a Bengali film. It would be interesting to see how he manages to get the best out of Bipasha.

Most of Ghosh's narrative are vibrant vignettes behind closed doors done up in deep shades of anguish and bitterness.

Radhika's tormented understanding of her dead poet husband's inner world is laced with luminous moments of revelatory tragedy, leading up to a finale that's surreal and introspective. The hallucinogenic conclusion where Radhika enters her husband's poetic world is charming, controlled yet frightening.

Bipasha Basu exudes sex appeal completely stripped of the chutzpah and the rawness she exudes in a Hindi mainstream film.

Bipasha had no problems donning a de-glam look for the movie and to her surprise she loved it. Talking about the character she says, "Luckily for me, it doesn't take too much of an effort to slip into any image. May be it comes from the fact that in spite of my sexy image on screen, I'm a very simple girl at heart."
